The Verdict

Paradise Renewables is a solid installer that gets the basics right. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a consistent pattern: the crew shows up on time, the work is clean, and the system produces the promised savings. One homeowner cut their monthly bill from over $200 to $25 after a 5kW install completed in six weeks. Another reported an 80% drop in power costs before adding an electric car to the mix. The company stands out on project execution. Thirty-two reviews mention smooth installations, and we found homeowners praising their ability to navigate tricky situations (like coordinating with roofers on flat-roof installs or handling rural county permits that made bigger companies walk away). Where Paradise falls short is post-install communication. Two reviewers reported trouble reaching the company for warranty service, though both eventually got help after posting public complaints. If you're willing to chase them down when issues arise, their track record on workmanship and cost savings makes them a reasonable choice.

If you want an installer who'll design a smart system and execute it cleanly, Paradise Renewables delivers. Just know that getting their attention after the panels are up may require persistence.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. danielmalvarado
EnergySage | May 11, 2021 |

Danielmalvarado compared more than 20 quotes, including one from Tesla, and chose Paradise because it struck the best balance of reliability, customer reviews, experience, and price. He found the whole process smooth and hands-on—the crew even came to his house to meet the DWP inspector for the field inspection. About a year after installation, the 8 kW system is still performing well and covers roughly 100% of the energy needs for his two-adult household. The memorable detail was that in-person support during the DWP inspection, a practical touch that made the project feel effortlessly managed.

2. Shane Weidle

Shane arranged an on-site visit so the crew could review his electricity usage and inspect the roof. They examined his bills, determined a 5 kW system would meet his needs, and gave a quote with a two-month completion window. The team actually finished the full installation in six weeks, and his monthly electric cost fell from just over $200 to about $25. The work was completed more than three years ago — the most memorable parts of the experience were the faster-than-promised schedule and the immediate, substantial drop in his bill.

EnergySage | Nov 19, 2020 |

Harry tried to reach the company about a warranty for the solar system they installed four years earlier but couldn't get through. Frustrated, he wrote an online review; the company then contacted him, committed to resolving the problem, and followed through. The memorable detail is that the warranty issue only got fixed after the public nudge, but it was ultimately resolved.

1. Brandon Sutliff
Google | Jan 23, 2025 |

Four years ago Brandon had Paradise Renewables install solar on his first property, and he brought them back to put a system on a second property because that first job left such a strong impression. He watched Paul, Anthony, and their crew work professionally and deliver very high-quality installations on both projects. The clearest takeaway: the same team returned years later and reproduced the quality work on a different property.

2. gregorywmiddleton
EnergySage | Feb 20, 2020 |

Gregory had Paradise Solar install 34 panels on his home about three years ago. He watched the job move swiftly — roughly three weeks from signing the contract to the utility's final sign-off — and found the entire process flawless. Since the system turned on he hasn't received an electric bill, and he now points friends and family to Paradise Solar whenever the topic comes up. What stays with him is the fast, trouble-free installation and more than three years without an electricity bill.

3. Greg Middleton

Greg had Paradise Solar put in a 34-panel system about three years ago, and the whole installation went off without a hitch. Since the panels switched on he hasn’t seen an electricity bill, and the system has already paid for itself so he’s now in the positive. Paul managed the project and was consistently professional and accommodating. Greg has recommended many others to have Paradise Solar install their systems — the detail that sticks is simple and concrete: no electric bills for three years.

1. Hal B.
Yelp | Feb 12, 2020 |

Hal B. was referred to Paul by a friend who'd had solar installed, and after their first meeting he didn't bother getting other bids. Even though Paradise Renewables wasn't located near his flat-roof home, Paul moved quickly — pulling permits, coordinating with the roofer so the installation wouldn't harm the flat roof, and personally leading the crew on site. He returned several times to fine‑tune the system and answer questions, never charging extra. The array has been bulletproof for nearly three years and is shaving off hundreds of dollars from his monthly San Diego Gas & Electric bills. Instead of a national contractor, he ended up with an expert who stuck with the job until it ran perfectly — three years later the system still performs reliably and continues to deliver real savings.

2. trainmanjs
EnergySage | Feb 12, 2020 |

Trainmanjs ended up powering a Tesla Model 3 Long Range mostly with sunlight for its first year, driving 7,173 miles without paying for fuel. They had a 21-panel system installed in fall 2017 and bought the car about a year later. The array slashed their electricity bills by roughly 80% before the EV arrived; adding the car pushed bills up again somewhat, but they made a point of charging whenever solar production allowed. That approach produced a striking result: the Tesla’s energy cost for its first year was $0, compared with about $1,600 to operate their previous gasoline car. The concrete takeaway: pairing a modest rooftop system with disciplined daytime charging can turn a year’s worth of driving into virtually no fuel cost.

3. Luis Zepeda
Google | Aug 5, 2022 |

Luis Zepeda hired this company for a rooftop solar installation and found the experience frustrating and unprofessional. He discovered the crew missed numerous installation details, forcing the utility/city inspector to reschedule the final inspection multiple times. After a string of corrections the system finally got installed and approved, but the delays and sloppy work left him uneasy. In response to the owner’s reply, he pushed back hard — questioning claims about cleanup, fixing broken tiles, and free roof work, even calling the company “a junk removal service” for a solar provider — and insisted the repeated reschedules happened because the crew had many corrections to make. His lasting impression isn’t the eventual approval but the pattern of missed details and slow, corrective fixes, and he hopes the company actually honors its warranty if problems arise.
